从左至右依次为：费哲妮、林岱、胡泽坤、赵莹雪

来看一组数据：2021届宁波诺丁汉大学航空航天工程专业学生，目前已提交就业去向，选择升学的27名学生中，14名学生将去往航空工程领域全球排名前十的院校继续深造。比例超过半数！

根据QS2021年航空工程的学科排名，1名同学收到了全球专业排名第五的新加坡南洋理工大学的录取通知书，13名同学将组团去往全球专业排名第八的帝国理工学院。

宁诺于2017年开设航空航天工程本科专业。一晃四年，第一届学生用实力证明了他们的开拓精神——无前路可循，那就走出自己的路。该专业赵莹雪、林岱、胡泽坤、费哲妮四位同学讲述了他们的故事。

始 于 梦 想

获得帝国理工学院青睐的赵莹雪出生于航空世家，父亲是一名航空发动机工程师，从小她就对一切可以飞起来的生物都充满着探索的欲望。高中接触物理后，她更是对航空航天产生了浓厚的兴趣。

“这个专业对我来说是一门飞行的科学，是人类在后天通过观察学习以及不懈努力的成果。”赵莹雪说，高考结束时，她去济南参加了一场招生宣传。

“招生老师提到宁诺有航空航天专业。考虑到我英语比较占优势，能在这样一所学校接受原汁原味的英式教育，还能投身自己喜欢的专业，实现童年梦想，我毫不犹豫地报了名。”

林岱曾代表宁诺参加浙江省大学生兵乓球赛

同样将去往帝国理工学院的林岱，打算继续深耕航空工程，立志成为一名优秀的航空航天工程师。“航空航天工程师可以助力人类探索发掘宇宙边缘，通过研究安全和舒适飞行的科技来改善人们的生活方式，这是我选择这个专业的初衷。”

学 科 之 美

赵莹雪的毕业设计是“给飞机穿上鲨鱼皮”，即运用空气动力学和仿生学的知识对飞机机翼进行流动控制,从而达到减阻效果。“接触了航空航天之后我才领略到流体力学之美，感受到了空气动力学的乐趣。”

同时揽获帝国理工学院、伦敦大学学院、宾夕法尼亚大学和康奈尔大学录取通知书的胡泽坤，最终选择了宾夕法尼亚大学。他觉得，航空航天工程专业充分借鉴了英国诺丁汉大学的课程设置和知识体系，课程安排非常合理。而在趣味十足的课堂之余，学院还组织参观了波音工厂和飞行院校等与专业高度相关的行业机构。

“我们学院的老师都非常负责任，对我们很尽心，就像是对待自己的孩子一样。”胡泽坤表示正是老师们的悉心指导，让他积累了关于学科足够的知识和底蕴，从而申请到一众世界名校。

这点得到了所有采访对象的认同。几位还提到，航空航天工程专业本科阶段学习的知识涵盖方方面面，包括流体力学、材料结构、飞行原理、控制系统、航空电子等等，所以教授涉及不同的领域，且各有建树。

赵莹雪说：

“

从持有多种飞机资质的飞行员教授，到研究多电飞机的行业先驱，再到从事流体力学和航空制造业的教授们，他们为我们提供了更宽阔的视角，让我们看到未来各种不同的可能性。

无 限 可 能

连续三年均分专业第一，拿到全校仅6席的国家奖学金，费哲妮的秘诀是：以宁诺为支点，探索自己的可能性。

她曾在《科学美国人》简体中文月刊《环球科学》实习长达三年，翻译了近80篇科学文章。大二暑假，她代表宁诺赴伦敦参加“2019全球重大挑战论坛”。

“这个论坛让我深刻地意识到，工程学科是非常多元的，需要全面的考虑。不仅是专业知识，还有可持续性、创意思维等等。”

目前费哲妮正在国际上历史最悠久的航空航天专业组织——英国皇家航空协会实习。得益于宁诺与协会的学术交流和合作，大二她就成为了英国皇家航空协会上海代表处的学生代表，得以了解世界尖端学术进展。

四年倏忽而过。在林岱看来，大学生活最让他受益匪浅的是独立探索的能力。

“

教授无论是对我们问题的回答还是设置的作业，大多是引导式的，让我们自己寻找答案，从而最大限度地培养锻炼我们。这样养成的学习能力不但能让我尽早体验做科研的过程，而且对适应未来的挑战也有很大的帮助。

星空浩瀚无边，探索永无止境，我们期待他们带来更多的可能。

First class of Aerospace Engineering graduates admitted to top graduate schools

The first class of students of the Aerospace Engineering programme at University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) are to earn their undergraduate degree this summer. According to statistics collected so far, among the 27 graduates who decided to pursue further studies, 14 received admission letters from world top ten universities in the field of aerospace engineering, including Nanyang Technological University and Imperial College London (ICL). Four of them, Yingxue Zhao, Dai Lin, Zekun Hu and Zheni Fei, shared their experiences.

To Zekun, who has received offers from ICL, University of London College, University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University, the most attractive feature of the UNNC course is its modular arrangement - which follows that of University of Nottingham UK – very progressive, inclusive and appealing. Alongside interesting classes, UNNC also organised regular visits to industrial plants such as a Boeing factory and flight academies.

“All the module conveners at our School are very patient, responsible, and willing to help,” said Zekun. Aside from their dedication, their diverse backgrounds were spoken highly of by all four students.

The teaching team includes former pilot with various aircraft qualifications, industry pioneer in the research of multi electric aircraft, prestigious scholar in the fields of fluid mechanics and aviation manufacturing. “This provided us with a broader perspective to see various possibilities in the future," Yingxue, who was admitted to ICL, added.

Influenced by her father, an aero-engine engineer, Yingxue was exciting to join UNNC to receive a British-style education and explore her favourite subject. “It was only after my exposure to aerospace that I appreciated the beauty of fluid mechanics and the joy of aerodynamics." Therefore, Yingxue chose to research in this area for her dissertation.

In Dai’s opinion, the most precious lesson he learned during his college life was not the knowledge of a single area but his comprehensive ability to research and think independently. “The goal of professors is always to guide and support us to explore and find an answer by ourselves. The learning ability cultivated during the process not only enables me to experience the process of scientific research, but also helps me to adapt to the future challenges," he said.

Dai believes that aerospace engineers help mankind explore the edge of the universe, and they improve people's lifestyles by developing technologies for safe and comfortable flights. He is also heading to ICL to pursue his dreams.

To Zheni Fei, who scored first for three consecutive years in the School and was awarded a national scholarship, UNNC has been a bridge to a future of unlimited potential. She represented the University in competition at the Global Grand Challenges Forum 2019 in her second year.

"The forum taught me that engineering is a very inclusive discipline and needs to be considered holistically – we need not only expertise of our own field, but also in other aspects such as sustainability and creativity," said Zheni. Through the University, she is currently doing an internship with the Royal Aeronautical Society, the world's only professional membership association dedicated to the aerospace and aviation industry.

The vast sky seems to have unlimited possibilities for the future of this fresh class of aerospace graduates.
